So ... Forza Horizon is more like Burnout Paradise ? Better ?

I would say different and to me better (and I love Burnout Paradise). While Burnout is pure arcade and have elements of take down, Horizon is more like Midnight Club (but way better). I love Horizon and wish I have time to play more. Getting digital version might help me not being so lazy to go look for disc.

 

[edgardavids]

People need to buy Witcher 2 so they can wipe that god awful game Skyrim from their memory.

Not even comparable.

 

[SpacLock]

Fuck it. Bought Forza Horizon. Need some racing in my life.

 

[Ushae]

Witcher 2 is getting bought today!

 

[GreenTornadoX]

Should I buy DA:O or Orange Box? I've neither played them before but I'll have 400msp to spend in a couple of hours.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Should I buy DA:O or Orange Box? I've neither played them before but I'll have 400msp to spend in a couple of hours.

The Orange Box is the one to get. Essentially 3-5 (depending on if you view the new HL2 episodes as new games) amazing games in a package.

 

[mullet2000]

You've never played ANY of the games in the Orange Box?

Dragon Age: Origins is a seriously fantastic game, but it's hard to say no to Orange Box if you haven't played anything in it.

Honestly I'd suggest getting both of them if at all possible.

 

[eggwolio]

Horizon to me sometimes feels like what a modern Cruisin' USA would be. I don't know why exactly my brain makes that comparison, but maybe it's because that's how long it's been since I really got sucked into a racing game. I lost two months to Horizon back when it first came out. My backlist grew and grew while new stuff came out but all I wanted to play was Horizon. At $15 it deserves a look.

 

[GreenTornadoX]

I'll buy the Orange Box from the Sale and get the Ultimate Edition of DA:O from Amazon. Thanks guys!

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Actually, on that subject, is Dragon Age Origins worth buying at all? I have the orange box, and I'm tempted to play DA:O. My pc is terrible, so the only way I can play it is on consoles, so does it translate well to consoles?

 

[bidguy]

Did I miss the Tomb Raider deal?

no that should be tommorow

It's not as sharp and lacks the isometric view, but a fine port otherwise. The modding community never really took off on the PC like NWN so you won't miss much.
I finished it on the 360 and it's good.

 

[LorDjidane]

Anybody else having issues buying Forza Horizon on the online store page? I can't do it, when I click on "buy it" I have a new window with "oops, error, you shouldn't be able to see this, there's an issue, come back later". (FR store)

---

Okay it's working now half an hour later.

 

[mullet2000]

I'll buy the Orange Box from the Sale and get the Ultimate Edition of DA:O from Amazon. Thanks guys!

Even better!

 

[LordBaztion]

How about Divinity 2? never heard of it before, is it any good for someone who generally likes WRPGs?

 

[Eusis]

Yeah, the idea of getting the Ultimate edition in a PSN sale is why I haven't touched this in the XBL sale (well, and the fact PS3 is supposed to be the better version AND getting Divinity 2, Crysis, and Witcher 2 sobered me up on the "let's get a PC game on 360 for controller support!" idea, nevermind that DA:O is the last one of the three I wanted it for...)

HOw about Divinity 2? never heard of it before, is it any good for someone who generally likes WRPGs?

Well regarded, but has Eurojank, partially because it's pretty clear kb/m IS the intended control scheme. It's almost like I'm playing through Xpadder on 360 honestly.

 

[Feindflug]

Tell me about Witcher 2 ... I loved Mass Effect and Oblivion. Is this a definite purchase ?

Do it! especially for 10$ the game is a steal, it's a really great game and also an excellent port from CDP.

Also everyone should get the Orange Box for 5$, some amazing games in there.

Now for me, Forza Horizon here I come (finally)! I'll also download the free goodies and I'm ready to go.

 

[The Shift]

About to run out and buy a 320GB hdd, anything I should be wary about re accounts/rights etc?

I just upgraded from a 120G (I have an elite) to a 320G HD, because of this sale. Only problem i encountered was retail disc games would not transfer over. Meaning you would have to re-install your disc games, on the new HD.

Not transferring data just going to swap between both from time to time. Setting it up now.

 

[Alessandro]

Kinda OT but: do I have to migrate region for my account to change language of Games On Demand?

I've bought Mass Effect and although in my preferences everything is set on english I get local subtitles and voiceovers. It's driving me nuts.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Have all the maps from L4D1 made it over to L4D2 on console?

 

[c0de]

Seems like MS-servers are on fire - downloads are way slower than usual. But I will gladly wait

 

[Certinty]

Bought Horizon on the Hungarian marketplace for 600 points. Now off to trade my physical copy to GAME for £17.

Got 600 points left on my Hungarian account though, questioning whether to wait or spend it now on something like LEGO Batman 2.

 

[OrangeOak]

Not transferring data just going to swap between both from time to time. Setting it up now.

I have also 250GB and Im out of space and have same plan as yours because 50GB more won't make a big difference.
But Im wondering if you can have profile on two hdds or downloading it is required every time you swap.
Maybe you can have profile on USB and only games on HDDs ?
I would really appreciate it if you could give me some answers after testing it

 

[Jack cw]

Kinda OT but: do I have to migrate region for my account to change language of Games On Demand?

I've bought Mass Effect and although in my preferences everything is set on english I get local subtitles and voiceovers. It's driving me nuts.

I'm pretty sure that Mass Effect has only one language pack installed (region based). If you want English voice overs you have to get it from the US/UK marketplace.

 

[NIGHT-]

Conflicted.. I really want Bioshock and tomb raider, but I know both will have goty re rerelease... Depends on the prices during this sale I guess

 

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Bought Far Cry 3 because I couldn't resist. I was introduced from Blood Dragon, and I can honestly say that I'm enjoying myself here as well.

I'm going to have to bite on The Witcher 2 at $10, too. It's times like these I wish I had a bigger hard drive.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

With Tomb Raider the only dlc for the GOTY is skins and multiplayer, there was no story expansions. So unless you're looking to invest in the online, tomorrows deal will probably be the better option.

 

[hgarrett54]

Got Borderlands 2 and Horizon Anything else worth picking up?

 

[careless mango]

Try setting your region in the Xbox settings to UK or US.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Borderlands 2 and Horizon should do it for me for now. Although I didn't read and didn't expect BL2 is so coop focused, it can be a chore playing alone.

 

[Ravensmash]

Witcher 2 75% off?

You know, I've been thinking about giving it another shot - and that's a nice nice price.

MS do some great sales :]

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Witcher 2 is a steal. I wish Forza was a little cheaper.

 

[Luken]

The witcher 2 assassins of kings is not available for Xbox Live Brazil.

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

So tempted to get The Witcher 2. £8.99 is a great price

 

[MikeJAMoran]

It's an even better price when you factor in the MS Store digital download discount code glitch from May! The Witcher 2 for £2.50. Less than my morning latte.

Is it alright to play if you haven't played The Witcher? I have The Witcher on steam but haven't got round to it.

Also, is xbox.com down for anybody else?

 

[Socreges]

My Xbox is dead - would I still be able to purchase these games somehow? And access them once I've got it repaired?

 

[Alpende]

You all should pick up The Witcher 2 if you haven't already. It's an amazing game. I didn't play the first one and could understand what was going on in 2.

Nothing for me today, still waiting for Infinite.

 

[Jack cw]

Try setting your region in the Xbox settings to UK or US.

Wont work. ME has only one language pack installed. UK/US has english voices, EU region specific. So if you bought your game from the french marketplace, you only get french voices etc. Changing the region setting wont do a thing.
Edit: Ony Mass Effect 3 had an additional english voices download and that is nearly 2.5 GB.

 

[Ryhian]

Also, is xbox.com down for anybody else?

I keep getting errors when attempting to purchase Forza

 

[newsguy]

So Max Payne 3 is a last day game?

 

[Kill Your Masters]

My Xbox is dead - would I still be able to purchase these games somehow? And access them once I've got it repaired?

Just buy them via xbox.com

 

[Hyun Sai]

Yes, buy them in the Xbox.com site.

 

[Xamdou]

My Xbox is dead - would I still be able to purchase these games somehow? And access them once I've got it repaired?

Xbox.com

Edit* Beaten~

 

[mocoworm]

It's an even better price when you factor in the MS Store digital download discount code glitch from May! The Witcher 2 for £2.50. Less than my morning latte.

What is this glitch ? Can you PM me with it ?

 

[Hyun Sai]

Actually, on that subject, is Dragon Age Origins worth buying at all? I have the orange box, and I'm tempted to play DA:O. My pc is terrible, so the only way I can play it is on consoles, so does it translate well to consoles?

The lack of isometric view makes DA:O some shitty action game on console. I would wait having some better PC if I were you.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

What is this glitch ? Can you PM me with it ?

It's dead. You could get 1200 points for 5$ in May, and repeat the process multiple times.

 

[bidguy]

So Max Payne 3 is a last day game?

it was on sale tuesday
you missed it

 

[Brakara]

Borderlands 2 and Horizon should do it for me for now. Although I didn't read and didn't expect BL2 is so coop focused, it can be a chore playing alone.

Yeah, I don't recommend BL2 if you're going to play solo (even for ten bucks).

 

[newsguy]

Ffuuuuuu

 

[Ushae]

You all should pick up The Witcher 2 if you haven't already. It's an amazing game. I didn't play the first one and could understand what was going on in 2.

Likewise, also waiting on Infinte. Will grab Witcher 2 today, played the original on PC and heard great things about its console port.
